PREFACE. 


Without doubt the most important feature of the 
bottling business is the question of good extracts, and the 
object of this work is to give bottlers such information 
as will enable them to prepare their own “Soluble 
Flavors” and thus secure the additional profit, and at the 
same time produce as good an article as the market af¬ 
fords. 

All the recipes contained in this work have been 
devised by those experienced in business, and have been 
practically tested by the author, who is confident that 
there are very few bottlers who will not find herein much 
that will be of great use and benefit to them. 




GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. 


To produce first-class preparations you must use 
first-class materials. 

The oils of Lemon and Orange, more especially should 
be of the best. The alcohol used should be deodorized 
alcohol, or at any rate a good cologne spirit of full 
strength—i. e.—95 per cent. Bear in mind that the lower 
the degree of spirits in the extract the less essential oil 
will be taken up by it. 

Other ingredients should likewise be of the best ob¬ 
tainable quality. 

In making up the formulas pay strict attention to 
the following rules: 

1. Be sure that all graduates, measures, funnels and 
storage jars are absolutely clean. 

2. Be sure to use the exact proportions directed. 

3. Always experiment with small quantities at .first. 

4. Should the first attempt prove unsuccessful, do not 
condemn the formula, but make another trial, as the 
fault can generally be traced to a mistake in the 
manipulation, or an error in the proportion. 

As to weights and measures: 

When ounces or pounds are mentioned Avoirdupois 
weight is to be used, grains or drachms, Apothecaries 
weight, and fluid drachms, fluid ounces, pints or gallons, 
Wine measure. 

Solids by weight and liquids by measure is the uni¬ 
form rule with all the formulas in this book. 

Essences and essential oils should be kept in a cool, 
dark place and must never be left uncorked.

THE BOTTLERS’ FORMULARY. 


ACIDULANTS. 

One cannot too strongly deprecate the use of the 
numerous liquid acids offered by various houses under 
fancy and high-sounding names. Citric and Tartaric 
acids being the natural constituents of fruits cannot be 
excelled in wholesomeness or flavor. The chief induce¬ 
ment to bottlers to use acids other than citric or tartaric 
is the economy supposed to be effected; this is more ap¬ 
parent than real. Bottlers who are compelled to use 
hard water containing lime will invariably experience 
trouble from the formation of deposits, when using these 
cheap liquid acids, most of which contain some form of 
phosphoric acid which causes a precipitate of calcium 
phosphate—an insoluble salt—to form in the bottle. 

CITRIC ACID SOLUTION. 

4 lbs. Citric Acid Crystals. 

4 pts. boiling water. 

When dissolved pass through paper filter, using 
glass funnel. Keep in glass and avoid contact with 
metal. 


TARTARIC ACID SOLUTION. 

4 lbs. Tartaric Acid Crystals. 

4 pts. boiling water. 

Treat same as Citric Acid. 

MIXED ACID SOLUTION. 

2 lbs. Citric Acid Crystals. 

2 lbs. Tartaric Acid Crystals. 

4 pts. boiling water. 

Treat in same manner. 



THE BOTTLERS’ FORMULARY.

PHOSPHORIC ACID SOLUTION. 

4 lbs. Syrupy Phosphoric Acid 85%. 

Cold water to make one gallon. 

Stand over night and filter through paper. 

Mix acids in stone jar. Keep in glass bottles. 
These solutions, made and filtered as directed and 
kept in well corked bottles, will not spoil. 

The first in importance and popularity of carbonated 
drinks is Lemonade, generally termed Lemon Soda. 

(No. 1.) Soluble Lemon Extract. 


Oil of Lemon (fresh) .14 oz. 

Cologne Spirits.J gal. 

Glycerine. .6 FI. oz. 

Water (hot). \ gal. 


Mix the oil of lemon and 3f pints of the cologne 
spirits together in a half-gallon bottle and shake for 15 
minutes. 

Add the glycerine and shake again. 

Into a two-gallon bottle (warm) put \ gallon of 
hot water. 

Add the mixture of oil of lemon, cologne spirits and 
glycerine; shake or roll constantly for two hours, not 
allowing the- ingredients to separate. 

Let stand 24 hours. 

Introduce a rubber tube and syphon (draw off) the 
extract from beneath the undissolved oil. 

Add the 4 ounces of cologne spirits left over from 
the \ gallon. 

Filter through .filter paper and bottle for future use. 

Use great care in separating the extract from the 
oil, as, if you leave small globules of the oil, the extract 
will not be clear. If the least cloudy, filter through a 
small amount of powdered pumice stone.

THE BOTTLERS’ FORM'ULARY. 


The oil that is left is good for commercial purposes, 
and could be used again for making extracts, but it is 
best to dispose of it to candy manufacturers or bakers. 
It should bring from 60c to 80c per pound, according 
to the market price of the oil. 

Use 1 oz. of this extract to 1 gallon of syrup. 

The following is considered by the writer to make 
an ideal lemon soda: 


Syrup.1 gal. 

Soluble Lemon (No. 1).1 oz. 

Citric Acid Solution.2 oz. 


Certain localities demand a sharp acidulated lemon 
soda, while in others a sweet beverage, with a heavy 
heading is preferred. In the North a colored lemon soda 
is unknown, but some manufacturers in the South tint 
their lemon with a trace of yellow color. 

(No. 2) Lemon Fortified With Citral. 

To 

3J pints Alcohol, add 
10 oz. Oil Lemon, 

J oz. Citral, 

1 oz. Oil Bergamot, 

1 oz. Oil Limes. 

Agitate and stir thoroughly, and add 
8 oz. Glycerine, 

4 pints Boiling Water. 

Constant agitation until cool. Syphon off as directed 
in preceding formula. 

In manufacturing Lemon Extract in larger quantities 
a churn is used, run by power, and the agitation of the 
lemon and alcohol is continued for many hours. A 
prominent bottlers’ supply house, who have an extensive

sale on a one ounce lemon extract, use a copper, block 
tin-lined churn with a close-fitting rubber cap at the top 
—to prevent evaporation—and a faucet at the bottom; 
running through the center is a well-tinned gun-metal 
paddle operated by geared wheels and fitted with fast and 
loose pulleys. 

While the firm mentioned advertise a pure lemon 
extract—a considerable amount of citral is used. Here is 
their process: 

(No. 3) One Ounce Lemon Extract. 

Put in churn 

30 lbs. Oil of Lemon, 

8 oz. Citral, 

16 gal. Cologne Spirits, 

Mix and work 2 hours in churn. 

After this add 11 gallons hot water. 

Add water a gallon at a time, work churn, stop, add 
more water, churn and continue—adding a gallon at a 
time till the full 11 gallons are used. 

The water must be boiling hot. Put the rubber 
cap on the churn, so that the alcohol will not evaporate. 
After working churn thoroughly for one hour, add 3 
gallons of cold water. Put on cap and run churn ten 
hours. 

Then add 

1J gals. Cologne Spirits. 

After standing one hour, take out all of the product 
and filter it. Let stand a while for oil to go to the top. 
Then syphon extract from the bottom and filter through 
heavy French filter paper, or a Kiefer filter. 

If a pure lemon is desired, instead of the citral, use 
more oil of lemon. 

Some bottlers make a soluble extract, using a smaller 
proportion of oil of lemon and using a greater amount 
of the extract to a gallon.

in a mortar; work with pestle to a smooth paste; add by 
degrees the alcohol, mix and put in gallon bottle, then 
add water gradually, shake well and filter and refilter 


through paper, till bright. 

Of this, use as follows :

Lemon and Citral Extract.1^ to 2 oz. 

Citral Acid Solution.2 oz. 


The author offers no suggestions as to the use of 
foam. Some localities demand a soda without foam, 
others want as much ioam on a glass of soda as is on a 
freshly drawn glass of beer. 

Either of the lemon formulas will give the user a 
good lemon soda, but the first formula (N'o. 1), though 
taking a little more time to make, will prove the most 
satisfactory.

TERPENELESS OIL. 

Of late years a great many manufacturers have suc¬ 
cessfully used the Terpeneless Oils of Lemon and Orange. 
These Terpeneless Essential Oils are not, as is sometimes 
supposed, artificial products; they are the natural oils 
freed, by a patented process, from the terpenes. 

The solutions of Terpeneless Oils are clear and free 
from cloudiness, making them ready for immediate use. 
Their high concentration offers a saving in transporta¬ 
tion, and in consequence of their high percentage of 
oxygen, they impart the most delicate aroma. 

We append formulas: 

(No. 6) Bottlers Terpeneless Lemon Extract. 


HaensePs Terpeneless Oil Lemon.2 oz. 

Cologne Spirits (188 proof).3 qt. 

Water.1 qt. 


This gives one gallon clear lemon extract. Of this 
use 1 ounce to 5 gallons syrup. 

(No. 7) Bottlers Terpeneless Lemon Extract. 


Haensel’s Terpeneless Oil Lemon.i oz. 

Cologne Spirits.1 qt. 

Water.3 qt. 

Magnesia.2 oz. 

Filter through filter paper. 


Of this use 1 ounce to 1 gallon syrup. 

(No. 8) Extract of Blood Orange. 


Oil of Sweet Orange.14 oz. 

Cologne Spirits. i gal. 

Glycerine.6 FI. oz. 

Water (hot).J gal. 


Treat the same as the Soluble Extract of Lemon 
(No. 1) in every particular. 

Use 1 to 2 ounces of this extract to a gallon of 
syrup.

TINCTURES OF LEMON AND ORANGE. 
(No. 9) Lemon Tincture. 


Take fresh lemon peel sliced thinly.50 oz. 

Alcohol 188 proof.78 oz. 

Water.50 oz. 


Choose lemons with bright, thick skins, and as green 
as possible, provided the fruit is sound and well-devel¬ 
oped. Peel the lemons in such a way as to obtain as much 
of the yellow and as little of the white as possible. One 
dozen thin peels from average sized lemons should weigh 
about nine ounces. 

Macerate the thin peels in the spirit and water for 
four days, with occasional agitation. Then pour it off 
and let precipitate. This tincture will be almost soluble 
(quite sufficiently soluble for all practical purposes), if 
care be taken to choose fresh green fruit, avoiding that 
which is dry or overripe. 

LEMON SODA. 


Plain Syrup.1 gal. 

Lemon Tincture.4 FI. oz. 

Citric Acid Solution.1^ to 2 oz. 


(No. 10) Orange Tincture. 

Follow the process given for lemon tincture, using 
fine oranges instead of lemons. 

Use 4 to 6 ounces to one gallon of syrup. 

A Milwaukee firm has in the past 15 years built up 
a large trade on an Orange Tincture, used mostly for a 
still orange cider. 

Following is their process: 

(No. 11) Soluble Orange Flavor. 

Pare 150 dozen (15 cases) oranges. 

Divide into two equal portions. 

Put into two open barrels. 









THE BOTTLERS’ FORMULARY. 


13 


Cover each portion of peel with 18 gallons 188 proof 
alcohol. 

Stir well every day for four days. 

See that peels are thoroughly covered. 

Draw off menstruum and press out peels. 

Combine the liquid from both barrels in one large 
barrel, and add water to make 50 gallons. 

Let stand a week and draw off. 

To each 10 gallons add 1 ounce Terpeneless Oil of 
Orange. 


SOLUBLE ORANGE FLAVOR. 

Directions for use (Still Process) : 

For 10 gallons cider, take 10 pounds Granulated 
Sugar, 5 to 7 ounces Orange Flavor, 5 to 6 ounces Tartaric 
Acid Solution, and water to make 10 gallons. Color with 


Orange Color. 

For Carbonating: 

Syrup.1 gal. 

Tartaric Acid Solution.2 to 3 ozs. 


Color and foam to suit. 

There are several lemon and orange parers on the 
market which can be adjusted for very thin paring and 
do the work very rapidly. 

SARSAPARILLA. 

Next to Lemon Soda, in popularity, comes Sarsapa¬ 
rilla. While it is one of the oldest drinks in the bottlers’ 
list, the name Sarsaparilla is a misnomer. The commer¬ 
cial essence, or extract as it is called, sold to bottlers, or 
prepared by them, is a compound of the Oils of Sassafras, 
Wintergreen, Anise and Orange. There are numberless 
formulas of which the following is about the best: 





14 


THE BOTTLERS’ FORMULARY. 


(No. 12) Extract of Sarsaparilla. 


Oil of Wintergreen.4 oz. 

Oil of Sassafras.4 oz. 

Oil of Anise.1 oz. 

Cologne Spirits.5 pt.- 

Powdered Pumice Stone.4 oz. 

Granulated Sugar.8 oz. 

Water. . . 2\ pt. 

Sugar Color.1 oz. 


Dissolve the oils in TWO PINTS of the spirits. 
Each oil must be added separately and well shaken with 
the spirits BEFORE another oil is added. 

Now put the pumice stone and sugar in a Wedg¬ 
wood mortar, add the mixture gradually and rub together 
to a paste. 

Mix the remainder of the spirits and the water to¬ 
gether, add the sugar coloring to these, and dissolve care¬ 
fully. 

Mix the whole together gradually, stirring well until 
all combines, and filter through filter paper. 

Use one ounce of this extract to one gallon of syrup. 

Under the new Pure Food Laws, it will only be a 
question of time when Sarsaparilla Soda can no longer 
be called by that name unless it contains an appreciable 
amount of the drug. 

The two following formulas in combination will give 
a very pleasing drink and allow the bottler who uses it 
to call his beverage “Sarsaparilla”: 

(No. 13) Fluid Extract of Sarsaparilla. 


Sarsaparilla Root (powdered). 2 lbs. 

Mix: 

Glycerine. 8 oz. 

Alcohol. 12 oz. 

Water. . .24 oz. 


Moisten the root with 16 fluid ounces of this 
menstruum, pack closely in a percolator, then add 
enough menstruum to saturate the powder and leave 
a stratum above it. When the liquid begins to drop from 
the percolator, close the lower orifice, closely cover the 















THE BOTTLERS’ FORM'ULARY. 


15 


percolator, and let macerate for forty-eight hours. Then 
allow the percolation to proceed, gradually adding the 
balance of the menstruum, and afterwards alcohol and 
water, in the proportion of one ounce of alcohol to two 
ounces of water, until the Sarsaparilla is exhausted and 
40 ounces of extract is obtained.

GINGER ALE. 

Ginger ale extract can be made either from the ginger 
root, or an oil obtained from the root, to which various 
additions are made to enhance and enrich the taste and 
aroma. The principal additions are essences of lemon, 
orange, limes, rose, vanilla, oenanthic ether and tincture 
of capsicum. The last named is principally used to give 
a fictitious strength, so that a smaller quantity of the ex¬ 
tract can be used. 

Great diversity -exists among the formulas for this 
preparation and a number are herewith presented. 

1. 

(No. 53) “Tiger” Ginger Ale Extract. 

(To be used in the proportion of 1 ounce to 1 gallon 


of syrup.) 

Ginger in moderately fine powder.6 lbs. 

Capsicum in fine powder. 2\ lbs. 

Alcohol, a sufficient quantity. 


Mix, moisten the powder with 3 pints of alcohol, and 
set aside in a suitable vessel for 4 hours. Then pack the 
powder firmly in a cylindrical percolator, and percolate 
with alcohol until 6 pints of extract are obtained. 

Set this mixture aside and label Percolate No. 1. 
Then continue the percolation with 1^ pints of alcohol 
mixed with 1^ pints of water. Set the resultant tincture 
aside, and label Percolate No. 2. 

Add to Percolate No. 1— 

Oleo-Resin Ginger.5 FI. oz. 

Then take— 

Oil of Lemon.1J FI. oz. 

Oil of Cinnamon.1 FI. oz. 

Oil of Geranium.^ FI. oz. 

Magnesium Carbonate..8 Av. oz. 

Triturate the oils with the magnesia, add gradually to 
Percolate No. 2 and set aside. Then place Percolate No. 
1 in a large bottle, add pounds of finely powdered 
pumice stone, and shake at intervals of half an hour for 
6 hours. This being completed, add the mixture of oils 










THE BOTTLERS’ FORMULARY. 


29 


(Percolate No. 2), and later 10 pints of water, in quan¬ 
tities of \ pint at a time, shaking vigorously after each 
solution. Let the mixture stand for 24 hours, shaking if 
at intervals, and then pass it through a double filter. 
Finally add enough water through the filter to make the 
produce measure 3 gallons. 


2. 

(No. 54) “Standard” Ginger Ale Extract. 

(To be used in proportion of 3 ounces to 1 gallon of 


syrup.) 

Ginger in moderately Fine Powder.8 lbs. 

Capsicum in moderately Fine Powder.2 lbs. 

Alcohol, 95 per cent q. s. 


Mix, moisten with alcohol, and set aside as in the 
preceding formula; then percolate with alcohol until 10 
pints of extract are obtained. 

To this add— 

Oleo-Resin of Ginger.3 drm. 

and place in a large bottle. Add 2\ pounds of powdered 
pumice stone and shake at intervals for 6 hours. Then 
add 14 pints of water in quantities of 1 pint at a time, 
shaking well after each addition. Set the mixture aside 
for 24 hours, agitating at intervals. 


Then take—• 

Oil of Lemon.1^ FI. oz 

Oil of Geranium.-J FI. oz. 

Oil of Cinnamon.3 FI. drm. 

Magnesia Carbonate.3 Av. oz. 


Rub these in a mortar with the magnesia, and add 9 
ounces of the clear portion of the ginger mixture mixed 
with two ounces of alcohol, rubbing the mixture until it 
becomes smooth. Prepare a double filter, and filter the 
ginger mixture, adding through the filter the mixture 
of oils and magnesia. Finally add enough water through 
the filter to make the final product measure 3 gallons. 

If these formulas are properly manipulated the ex¬ 
tract should keep for a reasonable length of time without 
a precipitate. If, however, a precipitate occur after the 
extract has sjood for a week, it should be refiltered.

COCA AND KOLA DRINKS. 

The following formula is claimed to be the original 
“COCA COLA” formula, and has been sold at prices 
ranging from $50 to $500. 

It is extensively used throughout the United States 
and is the basis for every “Cola” extract on the market. 
If directions are followed and the extract and syrup 
allowed to age it gives a most excellent product. Some 
manufacturers use less of the “Cola” extract and con¬ 
siderably more lime juice. Most manufacturers buy the 
Soluble Extract of Coca Leaves and Kola Nuts from 
wholesale druggists.

VANILLA AND TONKA. 


The vanilla plant (Vanilla Plantifola) is a climbing 
parasitic plant belonging to the orchid family. It begins 
to bear fruit at the age of four to five years. It bears 
a most fragrant white blossom, from which later small 
pods spring, often to the number of 20 or 30. The fruit, 
which develops rapidly, is a slender pod, 7 to 10 inches 
long, filled with an oily pulp containing a great number 
of tiny black seeds. The curing is the most important 
factor in the vanilla bean culture. It requires three to 
four months to complete the curing. The beans are first 
sweated, by wrapping them in blankets, and then alter-

nately removing and exposing to the air and rewrapping 
them. At last they are spread in the sunlight to color, 
and they change slowly from a yellow to a rich dark 
brown, often so dark as to be almost black. After the 
beans are cured they are sorted according to length and 
tied up in bundles weighing from 12 to 16 ounces in 
weight. 

The beans are then packed in tin boxes, which are, 
in turn, packed in cedar-wood boxes—usually four tins 
to a box—40 bundles to a tin. The plant is grown in 
various sections of the tropical regions, the principal 
sources of supply being Mexico, Tahiti, Re-Union, Mada¬ 
gascar and Java. The beans from Mexico are called 
Mexican vanilla beans, and are considered to be the best. 
Bourbon vanilla beans come chiefly from the Re-Union 
‘Islands, though all vanilla beans coming from the French 
possessions are so termed. Tahiti beans are grown in 
the South Seas, and for the most part are grown wild. 
They average from four to eight inches in length, and 
resemble Mexican and Bourbon beans in appearance. 
While they are largely used, they are not to be recom¬ 
mended to anyone who desires to make a good extract. 

The requirements of the United States Food and 
Drugs Act of June 30th, 1906, makes the minimum quan¬ 
tity of vanilla bean to be used in an extract practically 
12J ounces per gallon. 

(No. 80) Formula: Extract of Vanilla U. S. P. 


Vanilla Beans.10 lbs. 

Granulated Sugar.20 lbs. 


Bruise vanilla beans and sugar together. Then add 
6 gallons of a mixture of 6\ gallons grain alcohol and 
3^ gallons of water. 

Let this stand over night; then pour off the liquid. 

Pack the beans in a percolator and add the liquid 
previously poured from them. 

Follow this with more liquid made up of 6J parts 
grain alcohol and 3^ parts water, until 12^ gallons (100 
pints) of percolate have been secured. 





THE BOTTLERS’ FORMULARY.

In this formula the 10 pounds of vanilla beans may 
be either all Mexican, all Bourbon or Mexican and Bour¬ 
bon beans mixed. 

As compared with the Mexican bean, the Bourbon 
has a more pronounced, but not so delicate, flavor. The 
flavor, being coarser, is more distinct to the taste. Many 
extract manufacturers combine the two beans when mak¬ 
ing up their products. 

The Pure Food and Drugs Act requires the extract¬ 
ive matter of 10 per cent of the vanilla beans to appear 
in the finished extract. 

The following formulas differ to some extent from 
the figures given above, none of them, however, using 
less of the bean than the quantity specified by the Food 
and Drugs Act. 

They will be found entirely satisfactory and illus¬ 
trate fully the various methods of extraction:

Vanilla Beans.5 lbs. 

Water. .3 gal.

Cut or grind the bea'ns fine and place in container 
provided with a close-fitting top. Pour over them 1 gal¬ 
lon of the water which has been heated to boiling; let 
stand for 24 hours, stirring occasionally. Then add 1 
gallon, more of the water (boiling) and strain through 
a cotton cloth, pouring the remainder of the water, at a 
boiling temperature, over the drugs on the strainer. After 
the liquid has cooled, add the alcohol and allow to stand 
several days. 

Most manufacturers prefer to macerate the beans for 
a longer period.

Cut the beans in small pieces; place in keg and pour

Cover and macerate for 24 hours. Now pour off the 
liquid, which reserve, to be added to them later, and pass 
the beans through a chopper, grinding them as fine as 
possible. Put the beans back in the keg with the sugar 
and add the water previously drained off, with an addi¬ 
tional gallon of pure water. Macerate for 24 hours, with 
frequent stirring; then add 1 gallon of alcohol; macerate 
for one week and add another gallotj of alcohol, and after 
another week \ gallon of alcohol. 

Let macerate 30 days; then transfer to a percolator 
and allow the liquid to drain off. 

Now mix the remaining portion of the water (9 
pints) with the remainder of the alcohol (12 pints) and 
pass this through the beans in the percolator. No filtra¬ 
tion is required and the extract is ready for use, although 
it will continue to improve for several months.

to percolate slowly. 

Add the glycerine, prune juice and syrup to the per¬ 
colate. This will precipitate more or less, and after 
standing for two or three weeks should be racked off 
and filtered. 


VANILLIN AND CUMARIN. 

Artificial vanillin is now the principal source of 
vanilla flavor. It was discovered some 30 years ago, 
and at first sold for $5 to $6 an ounce. It now sells for 
from 35 to 50 cents per ounce. Vanillin is not only a 
substitute for vanilla, but yields a flavor exactly iden¬ 
tical with the latter, and is in every respect more con¬ 
venient and elegant in its use, being free from all unde¬ 
sirable fibrous extractive or coloring matters. 














44 


THE BOTTLERS’ FORMULARY. 


Artificial cumarin has entirely superseded the use of 
the Tonka bean in extract making. Cumarin was first 
sold for $25 a pound. It is worth now from $3 to $4 a 
pound. 

The crystals you may have noticed on Tonka beans 
are natural cumarin. This is sometimes collected and 
sold at a much higher rate than the artificial, but it is 
not so satisfactory and uniform to work with. To quote 
from the advertisement of Fritzsche Bros.: 

“It is not a substitute for the Tonka bean, but pre¬ 
cisely the same body which gives this its aroma. It has 
exactly the same qualities, and cannot be distinguished 
from the cumarin extracted from the Tonka bean, neither 
by the senses nor by the art of the chemist.” 

Vanillin and cumarin are, therefore, the proper mate¬ 
rials to be used in making of the extracts of vanilla and 
Tonka.

Sulphurous Acid. 

This is the preservative agent largely used for lime 
juice. It is an effective antiferment, but it gives a pe¬ 
culiar flavor, and is objectionable to some palates. 

The proper quantity for a gallon of syrup is one- 
half ounce. 

(No. 130) Borate of Glycerine. 


Glycerine.2 pt. 

Boracic Acid.6 drm. 


Heat the glycerine over a slow fire. 

Add the boric acid gradually and stir until well dis¬ 
solved. 

Use one ounce of this preservative to one gallon of 
syrup. 

(No. 131) Benzoate of Soda Solution. 


Benzoate of soda.1 lb. 

Water.56 FI. oz! 


Dissolve and filter through paper. 

Of this solution use four fluid ounces to ten gallons 
of syrup. 

When this preservative is used you should label the 
package to read: 

“This beverage contains less than 1 part of benzoate 
of soda to 2,000 parts, added to improve its keeping qual¬ 
ities.”

Taste and, if too sweet, carefully add cider vinegar 
or dilute acetic acid sufficient to correct. If too acid, add 
more honey. The cider is now ready for boiling. 

This artificial cider may be given a delicate aroma 
by adding a small amount of apple-essence, prepared as 
follows: 

(No. 136) Apple Essence. 

Take of: 

Small red, sweet apples, a sufficient amount. Cut 
them into small pieces and to every 35 pounds of the 
apples, add ten pounds of common salt. Put in a warm 
place and let them stand, with occasional stirring, for 
six weeks or two months. At the expiration of this time 
add 30 pounds of water and four pounds of alcohol of 95 
per cent. Let digest for a few days, filter and express. 

The peelings of the apple gives this essence a rich, 
ruby color, and if fragrant apples have been used the 
aroma is very fine.

COLORS. 

Caramel or Sugar Color. 

Sugar, any amount. 

Water, a sufficient quantity. 

Put the sugar (without water) in a large iron kettle, 
heat it to.410 deg. to 430 deg. Fah., as long as it gives off 
any vapor, and until it is changed to a black viscid mass, 
stirring it occasionally during the operation, then cool, 
and while cooling add hot distilled water in the propor¬ 
tion of one pint for each pound of the sugar used, let 
stand to dissolve, strain the solution and contentrate it by 
evaporation to the consistency of syrup. Sugar color is 
prepared on a large scale commercially and is sold so 
cheaply, that it will hardly pay for the small bottler to 
manufacture it. 

In buying always test; any sugar color which will not 
stand the acid test is unfit for bottlers’ use. 

Recipe for Testing Sugar Color. 

Color 2 ounces of water to a dark brown shade with 
the sugar color, and to this add half a drachm of muriatic 
acid. This solution should remain clear,-that is, no sedi¬ 
ment should appear in two or three days. If any color is 
precipitated, it is unfit for using in beverages, for good 
sugar color will not be affected by muriatic acid, which is 
proof that the color will remain brilliant when it comes 
in contact with the citric or tartaric acid commonly used.

used in small quantities, gives a beautiful yellow tint 
to syrups. 

With the exception of sugar color, there are no colors, 
that can be made for bottlers’ use, that will equal the coal 
tar colors. Food Inspection Decision No. 76, published 
July 13, 1907, gives a list of seven coal tar colors, 
















THE BOTTLERS’ FORMULARY.

which may, without objection from the Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture, be used in foods until further notice. 
Several manufacturers have succeeded in producing the 
seven colors, under the conditions outlined in Food In¬ 
spection Decision No. 77. 

Certified dyes are now on the market and can be used 
without objection, by the Department of Agriculture, pro¬ 
vided the use of dyes in food does not conceal damage or 
inferiority. 

The bottler therefore will find it more economical to 
use these certified colors instead of the so-called vege¬ 
table colors. 

Following is a list of the seven permitted colors : 

The harmlessness of certain coal tar colors having 
been established by the Secretary of Agriculture ot the 
United States after exhaustive investigation, only the 
colors enumerated and certified in F. I. D. 76 and 77 are 
allowed under the National Food and Drugs Act, June 30, 
1906. 

107, Amaranth. 

56, Ponceau 3 R. 

517, Erythrosin. 

85, Orange 1. 

4, Naphthol Yellow S. 

435, Light Green S. F. Yellowish. 

692, Indigo Disulfoacid. 

These colors, however, according to F. I. D. 76, must 
be Jree from any other coloring matter than the one 
specified, be free from harmful constituents, and shall not 
contain any contamination due to imperfect or incom¬ 
plete manufacture, and a certificate to this effect must 
be filed with the Secretary of Agriculture for each and 
every batch, and approved by him.

This is sufficient to deresinise 1J gallons of extract. 

Example : 

Suppose we desire to operate upon a gallon of strong 
ginger tincture. 

As it is very resinous it will require to be diluted 
with at least an equal bulk of water before its resin is re¬ 
duced to a state of suspension. 

We therefore dissolve, say, 320 grains of chloride of 
calcium in a few ounces of water, and about three times 
as much phosphate of soda in another portion of water. 
Now add to the tincture enough water to make up 1 
gallon with the saline solutions, add the chloride of cal¬ 
cium solution to one portion of diluted tincture, and the 
phosphate of soda solution to the remainder. Agitate 
both mixtures thoroughly, and then stir them together. 
The tincture will now clear itself in a few hours, the 
whole of the resin being carried down with the newly 
formed phosphate of calcium. Of course the tincture will 
lose a portion of its strength by this process, besides be¬ 
ing diluted to double its bulk, but there will be no subse¬ 
quent loss arising from evaporation during Alteration and 
we have a perfectly soluble tincture.

Macerate the ginger with two quarts of spirit for 
at least 3 days; then place the mass in a deep percolator, 
and, when it is properly drained, add 1 quart of spirit. 
As soon as it ceases to drop, press the ginger close to¬ 
gether and add carefully a quart of water, taking care not 
to disturb the surface of the ginger. This will produce 
about 3 quarts of tincture. To this add the remaining 
1 quart of water, in 2 separate portions, with the chloride 
of calcium dissolved in one, and the phosphate of soda

As a closing to this book, I have deemed it advisable 
to reprint a portion of Circular 19, on standards of purity 
for food products, issued by the Department of Agricul¬ 
ture at Washington, which defines the various extracts 
and specifies the legal requirements for each under the 
Food and Drug Act of June 30, 1906. 

Bear in mind the flavoring extracts herein men¬ 
tioned are intended solely for food purposes and should 
not be confounded with similar preparations described in 
the Pharmacopoeia for medicinal purposes.

TABLE OF DENSITY OF SYRUP. 

The following table shows the amount of syrup ob¬ 
tained by adding any number of pounds of s'ugar to one 
gall6n of water. This table is accurate only for syrup 
made by cold process, as where heat is used a certain 
amount of water is lost by evaporation. It is based upon 
the established fact that one pound of sugar displaces ten 
American fluid ounces of water.

Good Side Lines for Winter Trade 


The winter season is rapidly nearing us, 
and where necessary those engaged in 
the bottling business, if they are wise, 
look around for something that will form, 
if not altogether a substitute for bever¬ 
ages, yet something seasonable that will 
keep the works going, and your help 
employed during the slack time. 

To suggest a few instances: How many 
people buy and use baking powder, 
metal polishes, furniture polish, stove 
polish, liquid bluing, household am¬ 
monia, etc.? 

These articles are easily prepared, indi¬ 
spensable in every household, and 
gladly handled by the grocery trade.
